6 Reasons This New Gucci Bag Instantly Became My Favorite

While I do not subscribe to the ‘new year, new me’ spiel, I will happily adopt the idea of ‘new year, new bag.’ I mean, there’s no reason not to grab a new bag to try out (and in this case, fall in love with). I ended last year with a gift from Gucci, unboxing a bag that quickly made its way into my heart (and yours): the Gucci Large Shoulder Bag with Chain.

Now, I wish the name were better, because this bag stands on its own. She deserves a strong name, a name that signifies her beauty and strength. Something more than just descriptors of what the bag actually is. Sure, it is large and has a chain.

However, it’s so much more, and for that reason alone, I have six reasons why I quickly fell in love with this bag. I might even throw in a name for her at the end, because she deserves it.

My Love List to My New Gucci

1. It stops hearts at first glance.
Like true love, you don’t need the subtitles. One sighting and BAM, I was emotionally committed.

2. Sage suede with GG logo = quiet luxury, but make it stunning.
It’s like the bag whispered, “I’m fabulous and giving you everything you love, wrapped up in one pretty bag.”

3. The chain isn’t a strap, it’s art.
I’m pretty sure if I wore the bag with a T-shirt and leggings, the chain would still dress me up. Honestly iconic.

4. It’s basically a Mary Poppins bag.
Phone, wallet, lip gloss, five snacks, my emotional support water bottle, existential dread… it fits it all. I ask nothing more of a purse except maybe a bottomless espresso supply.

5. It’s stylish enough to make mirrors wink.
Every angle is a good angle.

6. Literally every follower lost their mind over it.
When the crowd goes wild, you know you’re carrying something legendary! This unboxing went wild on our Instagram.
